When it comes to the broad sibling genre of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, I've always been more in the favor of Fantasy. But Beyond The Red by Ava Jae showed me a whole new world within the Sci-Fi realm, and I have fallen in love. Alien queen Kora has a problem as vast as the endless crimson … Continue reading Review: Beyond the Red 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Remember how I said that spring was coming? Yeah--Mother Nature made a liar out of me! It's not much, but it's enough to miss the few days we had of 50+ degree weather. I'm perfectly ready for winter to be done. While I love sitting at home, watching the snow fall and curling up with … Continue reading Mother Nature Will Never Decide
It's been so gorgeous the last couple of days in my neck of the woods. Sure, it's only been in the high 40s, low 50s, but it's better than freezing my butt off in the snow! So, of course, with the coming warm weather, I've decided to knit myself a new scarf and fluffy hat. … Continue reading Spring’s Coming!

On the bright side, I haven't had to go to Day Job since Friday, but sadly, that's over now that the … Continue reading Snow Monster 2016

I'm always complaining about how I never have any personal blog … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions

Ten minutes is all she gets, and once time’s … Continue reading Review: The Vanishing Girl ★★☆☆☆
I was intrigued right away by The Citadel of the Sky by Chrysoula Tzavelas. A fierce warrior princess setting out to defeat a great evil with a flaming sword. Sounds awesome, right? I thought so too. But things never turn out how we hope they will, do they? Her (not very) Serene Highness Princess Tiana tries … Continue reading Review: The Citadel of the Sky ★★☆☆☆
I picked up Devil's Daughter: Lucinda's Pawnshop by Hope Schenk-de Michele, Paul Marquez with Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff from NetGalley earlier in the year and finished it back in August. It took me quite a long time to power through this one. There were many times when I wanted to just call it a DNF and … Continue reading Review: Devil’s Daughter ★★★☆☆
The Wanderers by Kate Ormand is a tale of a circus full of animal shapeshifters; an urban fantasy that boasts a higher death rate than a Game of Thrones book. I think it did at least, but I wasn't really counting. Flo lives an eccentric life—she travels with a popular circus in which the main … Continue reading Review: The Wanderers ★★★☆☆
